People have found it and are playing it so I don't think it's cheating to pass along since it is part of the scavenger hunt:

telnet to figgis.agency
Press RETURN during the ASCII Bound movie to error out
Welcome to the Krieger's Kastle MUD (multi-user dungeon)

help will give you a list of commands
windows users might want to use putty or something like zMUD since the default telnet app acts lovely

I just tried it on my iPad using Prompt2. Everything was fine until it the first turn. I never had anywhere to enter a command. I'm totally going to try it on my Mac when I can.

Whoever was Krieger Clone 6 kept dying in the room. (maybe disconnecting?)

Cause Cyril was panicking and focusing on the money. Under stress, under fire (both gun and otherwise), it's pretty understandable.

Also stuff like a CD and papers aren't going to survive long in a safe that's buried in burning house debris. Even if it's a "fireproof" safe that only means they'll protect the contents for a certain period of time.

Yeah a quick check reveals that he'd need a very fancy safe to protect CDs in case of a fire, writables in particular have low heat tolerances.

If you're just using a basic telnet client, you just type, there's no input field or anything.

To be fair, though, heat rises, and it was a floor-mounted safe.

Yeah, but burning debris falls down and makes a furnace. Plus it would rely on Cyril having the foresight to do anything other than run away instead of taking two extra seconds to grab the documents (or close the door) which is what Archer was chastising him for.

Cyril is a double agent and has been from Day 1. Anytime he is directly involved, there is a disaster.

I wonder who else they got for guest voices this season. We'll surely hear more Patton Oswalt, J.K. Simmons, and Keenan Michael Key, plus Jon Daly and Jon Glaser were in this episode (although they are obviously one-offs).

He did ok with the shuttle before Archer happened. The nanosub was all Cyril. Besides, Cyril brings most of his misfortune on himself. Archer didn't make him cheat on Lana, embezzle everyone's money, put a worm on the mainframe, or shooting the door off their plane and throwing all the guns out...the only thing Cyril was ever good at was impersonating a drug lord's accountant (until he got full of himself) and the only time I can remember Archer hitting Cyril was after Cyril punched him in Coyote Lovely.

That last part wasn't directed at you so much as Cyril comparing his bullying by Archer to Archer's prep school bullying.

He has an underlying personality disorder! :mad:

Also, Archer has hit Cyril several times. He did it in the last episode of season 5. He did it during the Pocket Listing episode of season 6. There's this:



Which I think is from one of the Katya episodes.

And not to mention that Archer framed Cyril for various crimes committed in Vegas which caused Cyril to get worked over in the Tombs by the cops.

I'll concede that, even though I was using a higher threshold of violence for attacking Cyril (I didn't explain that properly). Even then, I still find it hard to feel bad for Cyril. With how much he tries to lord over people (despite hardly ever having any power to do so) I think he would be as bad as Whitney if he had the strength/skills of Archer/Lana/Ray/Pam. In a show full of assholes, he finds a way to stand out to me.

I love Cyril but I really agree. He's a textbook example of someone who is powered entirely by resentment and fear and hence is a bully whenever he gets the chance. Having said that, Especially early on, he gets picked on a lot. Also Archer is I think the only member of the main cast who hasn't molested Cyril somehow.

E: well, Lana too

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
Cyril is Bill Dauterive. The second Bill got an ounce of power or control in his life he became a monstrous rear end to anyone and everyone in his path, especially close friends(this was a recurring theme in KOTH, it happened at least 4-5 times on the show as major plot points). Ignoring the slightly more functional relationships of the KOTH universe, it's still pretty close. Cyril is a deliberate and uncompromising rear end if he gets a taste of power.
